The inclusion of teams like Andorra is absurd.
They need a new system where the weaker teams have to go through a first qualifying stage BEFORE entering the qualifying stage proper.
Like as follows (This is just an example. These might not necessarily be the teams selected for each group.)
First Qualifying Stage Teams
These teams would be divided into four groups of six. Playing each other twice. Whoever wins the groups goes into the qualifying stage proper.
1- Albania
2- Andorra
3- Armenia
4- Austria
5- Azerbaijan
6- Belarus
7- Scotland
8- Bosnia and Herzegovina
9- Bulgaria
10- Cyprus
11- Estonia
12- Faroe Islands
13- Wales
14- Georgia
15- Kazakhstan
16- Latvia
17- Liechtenstein
18- Lithuania
19- Luxembourg
20- Macedonia
21- Malta
22- Moldova
23- Northern Ireland
24- San Marino
Second Qualifying Stage Teams
These teams would be divided into eight groups of four. Playing each other twice. The group winners and runners-up go into the EURO finals proper.
1- Croatia
2- Czech Republic
3- Denmark
4- Finland
5- England
6- France
7- Germany
8- Italy
9- Netherlands
10- Portugal
11- Spain
12- Ukraine
13- Sweden
14- Greece
15- Hungary
16- Iceland
17- Eire
18- Israel
19- Norway
20- Poland
21- Romania
22- Russia
23- Serbia
24- Slovakia
25- Slovenia
26- Switzerland
27- Turkey
28- Belgium
29- Qualifying Group A Winner
30- Qualifying Group B Winner
31- Qualifying Group C Winner
32- Qualifying Group D Winner

If he'd have woke up and smelled the coffee years ago and chose England over Wales he'd have over 100 caps by now because he'd have played all the time for them... I think it's because Wales are not a powerful Federation that Fergie has stood up to them for so long, he's never done it with players like Scholes, Neville, Ferdinand etc etc... The top and bottom of it is that these players get paid very well nowadays for playing in internationals and they themselves never seem to moan about it... I know we're all still seething over the weekend's result but it didn't seem to affect Man U and Chelski did it...?
Blaming the internationals is just too easy...

What happened to Kofi Annan ? More like Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly arranging a hit
